Programatically Adding A Control - And Accessing it's parameters

Question

I have the following control:

public partial class Controls_ProductPanel : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
    private int _ProductID;
    public int ProductID
    {
        get
        {
            return _ProductID;
        }
        set
        {
            _ProductID = value;
        }
    }

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }
}

I want be be able to add it to a page like this:

Controls_ProductPanel panel = new Controls_ProductPanel();
panel.ProductID = 2;
Page.Controls.Add(panel);

But Visual Studio doesn't seem to reconise Controls_ProductPanel

I get:

 The type or namespace name 'Controls_ProductPanel' could not be found. (Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Managed to solve this, I had to put the register tag on the .aspx page. This allowed me to access it's type.

 <%@ Register TagName="ProductPanel" TagPrefix="uc" Src="~/Controls/ProductPanel.ascx" %>

It's not a client profiling issue. This is a Web Site, not a project, and certainly not a multi-project solution. The link you posted solves a namespace problem. This is a type. – gunwin Mar 08 '13 at 15:31
